Now around 20 years later i really brings a tear to my eye to see that all is lost, well almost all. After you left i was thinking "well, Shawn is still there", so after Shawn left i thought "Skip, Fitch, Jason Wilson, Nick, Phil, Matt C, Ryan, Ryan Scott, Jay, Jason, Shane, Milk, Greg, Giancarlo, Mo, Rosie, Donahoe, Rey, Curtis, Justin, Michael G, Rob, Cesar, Matt Shirk and Anthony will still be there", now i´m just thinking "hope they can send a coffee mug to replace my subscription of EGM".<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, l will still support the guys still at 1UP, they are not to blame, and I'll be reading your and Shawn's bloggs.<BR/><BR/>I think I'm not the only one that would like to ask you a big one. Could you, if you here anything about "Skip, Fitch, Jason Wilson, Nick, Phil, Matt C, Ryan, Ryan Scott, Jay, Jason, Shane, Milk, Greg, Giancarlo, Mo, Rosie, Donahoe, Rey, Curtis, Justin, Michael G, Rob, Cesar, Matt Shirk and Anthony", could you please write something on your blogg so we know where to go for our fix of pre 1UPers ^_^<BR/><BR/>Keep cool.<BR/><BR/>/The gamer thats almost as old as GreenRaffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937902447122095457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-37115596716308203562009-01-18T01:03:00.000-08:002009-01-18T01:03:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Raffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937902447122095457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-89130754831717894162009-01-12T16:48:00.000-08:002009-01-12T16:48:00.000-08:00Great post.Great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-52360657139054105122009-01-11T10:50:00.000-08:002009-01-11T10:50:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620474540767517136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-12438764363297655912009-01-11T08:41:00.000-08:002009-01-11T08:41:00.000-08:00I really appreciate what you wrote Jeff. This is ...I really appreciate what you wrote Jeff. This is the "truth" blog I've been hoping to read from someone with some credit from 1up. I too was very offended by what Sam wrote even knowing the hard position he's in. I'm glad someone respectable called him on it. It makes me feel a bit relieved that this isn't going to be totally whitewashed away as a hard but "good" thing as many of the fired and remaining employees feel they need to tip toe out in all their blogs and public statements. Kudos to you Jeff. I realize that this must have been a hard blog to write as some will see it as a direct attack at Sam for selling out. But I understand that's not what you were trying to do. He just made a couple of bad statements. I still believe that he is a guy with a lot of journalistic integrity, but agree that what he said was really insulting to the EGM/1up legacy. Thank you so much for this blog Jeff. I personally now feel like I can start to come to turns with this tragedy as I just needed to hear vocalized some real anger at what has occurred. As a EGM/1up reader since the 1989 Video Game Buyers guide I am devastated.
